II. At large camps, depots, or posts where absentees arrive en
route to their companies the commanding officers will immediately
set apart a particular place where the men may be quartered, in
buildings, tents, or huts, as soon as they arrive, and may without
delay receive food and clothing. Parties will be detailed to await
at landing places the arrival of such soldiers and to direct them to
their quarters. They will be assigned immediately to temporary
companies, composed as far as possible of men from the same regi-
ments or brigades, and each of these companies will be forwarded
in a body to the command to which they belong, according to the
directions contained in paragraph I of General Orders, No. 72.
III. Chaplains appointed by the President for hospitals will be
assigned by the Surgeon-General to hospitals in the cities for which
they were appointed. Should the breaking up of a hospital leave a
chaplain supernumerary in any city the fact will be immediately
reported to the Adjutant-General. Chaplains will be subordinate to
the hospital surgeons. Leaves of absence will be granted them by
the Surgeon-General when approved by the surgeons in charge of
their hospitals.
